I believe you are right in the direction, but wrong on the details. Yes they will now have tons of otherwise inaccessible data about how Wiz customer use GCP’s competitors (AWS/Azure), eg what workloads, how much they pay, how many EC2 / EKS / ECS / RDS / S3 / SageMaker are actually used and how much they pay. This is by itself highly valuable financial information, that any company would love to have about their direct competition.

I highly doubt Google or Wiz have a legal avenue that allows them to use customer data beyond fulfilling their product needs. Products like Wiz (voluntarily) go through security audits and certifications, from SOC2 type 2 to FedRamp. Also enterprise customers actually do read T&C (their legal team does at least) and having terms and conditions that allow you to train models on customer data without their consent is not going to fly under the radar for long.
